Where to Measure Tightness

[Whiteymin]

I got my new Fusion match barrel bushing in today. When I got it home and measured it, it is the same dimentions as the factory one, therefore not tightening up the way I wanted. No need for a wrench on this one either. I can turn it with my little finger.
When the slide is all the forward (As in the position to fire", The bushing to barrel is tight, when the slide is locked back however, I can put my little finger in the end of the bore and wiggle it. It has some play and is a little loose. So , how do you decide if its tight enough or not, In the ready postion or with the slide locked back? Thank you

The bushing to barrel is tight,
when the slide is locked back however, I can put my little finger in the end of the bore and wiggle it. It has some play and is a little loose.

If its tight when locked up thats fine As for turning bushing with you finger That fine also.
If you want better then you need a oversized one and fit by a gunsmith that knows what he doing.
Most pistols will shoot out of the box better than 98% of owners. If a self defence pistol just how small of a group do you need at 15 yds or so to defend ourself 1/2" 1" 3"
